We had a great time facing off in ACN's "Lord of the Ping" tournament on Monday afternoon. Our team competed in novice and advanced brackets, and also had the opportunity to participate by filling out a bracket to predict the champion in each category.
It was an intense set of games as they battled it out, but Dan LeClair (advanced) and Tannaz Farahani (novice) took home the gold in their designated tournaments. Todd Ricotta, our CEO, had the most accurate bracket predictions. We are already looking forward to our next "Lord of the Ping" tournament.🏓

Did you know chia seeds provide an excellent source of fiber, omega-3s, and prebiotics in your diet? This small but mighty food can make your gut happier and healthier!
